I heard there were layoffs in rebadged (client to Optum) staff and MPP transition staff. Does anybody know the clients they support and roles and the roles of the transition staff let go?

Being let go didn't personally affect me at all. I've gotten used to losing jobs. It's happened several times over my career, and by now I don't see it as anything reflecting on me. But I've never been more worried about finding another job. It doesn't look good out there, and my husband's job is in peril too. I can't recall when things have felt this bad from every direction. Wish us luck and the optimism to keep us afloat.

I was so fed up with the work and the constant anticipation of losing my job that I'd lost any motivation to work extra-hard. And I constantly felt guilty about it. As if being a hard worker would've made any difference. We all saw today that being good at your job means literally nothing. Anyway, I'm off. Good luck to everyone. The only good memories are the nice coworkers I met along the way.

Taking the chance to work for this company was the worst experience of my career. I feel terrible for the amazing leaders we lost today, I am sure my role is next. Onward and upward.

The cuts will impact across the hospital, including management, clinical and non-clinical areas, according to a statement issued by Pomona Valley.

“Christopher Smith, who has led Ford’s global efforts on legislation, regulation and government policies worldwide since 2022, is expected to depart the automaker, according to people familiar with the plans who asked not to be identified revealing internal matters. The reason for his departure is unclear, though one of the people said it’s expected within weeks.”

Has anyone heard of Monday Rif????
I've had a few tell me they heard about it that there will be some Monday? In Optum Health

RPS Superintendent Recommends Layoffs and Program Reductions

RPS Superintendent Jason Kamras proposed significant budget cuts for the upcoming fiscal year. These recommendations include laying off 50 central office staff members. Summer school for K-8 students will also be eliminated. The district anticipates only modest revenue increases from the city and state.

heard TX, ID, and Kansas City had layoffs… what department? team? always hearing through the grapevine. who is next? where is next? why can we never find this out?

but most of you don't work at NM anymore anyway

It’s not looking good for TCS. Plan A is moving to cheaper alternatives that better align with the mgcc workforce once the current TCS contract expires.

Get ready for another round of knowledge and talent loss.

Has there been any new information about the layoffs that are supposed to happen next month? I'm checking to see if anything has been confirmed yet.

I don’t want to look a gift horse in the mouth, but with the job market the way it is right now, it isn’t unrealistic to expect that people laid off today won’t find new positions anytime soon. If we’re being kicked to the curb, the least they could do is provide a better safety net.

Microsoft‘s communications chief did something unusual this month. He publicly shot down layoff rumors before they could metastasize. When anonymous posts on Reddit and Blind claimed the company planned to cut up to 22,000 jobs in January, Frank Shaw took to X with an unequivocal response, calling the reports “100 percent made up/speculative/wrong.”

Any details if they got any severance / layoff / unemployment packages. Or where they outright fired since they were warned by Lumen that not taking their "similar job offers" with ATT would end this way. Will they have any recourse, has there been more than just AZ.

Were layoffs being held this week in US/ Canada ?

I was moved to another company on paper but still do the same job for the original company, report to the same managers, use the same systems, and was told this affects severance and unemployment.

I’m leaving. Too many days wondering if this is the life I’d have built for myself, no one to blame but me & my hope of brighter days that get increasingly dimmer.

Reorg. is helping. I don’t have bad news yet, but I know it’s coming. I’ve seen too many of the wrong types of people slither ahead, theyre now the next generation of decision makers. No visionaries, just folks who impressed the current and prior generation of bad decision makers.

I dream of the day I’m working at a company that buys up all of Shell’s valuable assets but none of their leadership.

Most of us just got laid off. We knew Bending Spoons acquisition would be bad, we just didn't realize how bad it'll be. I'm not worried about my team. They're amazing engineers, everybody should be lucky to have them join their team. But that doesn't make this sting any less. And all for AI everybody hates.

I've lost my voice from p!$$!ng and moaning about losing my job. My fingers are raw and cramped from posting here and on other forums. My extended family won't have anything to do with me. My wife is threatening to leave me! I haven't been able to find another job. What do I do????

Yesterday IBM has announced RA in Europe for 2026

Anyone else up waiting for the impending doom?

The world has changed and Americans now have to compete with global workforce. Now, the global workforce (workforce in India, etc. and H1-Bs in USA) work for much less than what Americans want.

Now, the companies of USA want to increase their profits so they will use cheap labour. They actually don't care about Americans, they only care about their profits and revenues. It is quite evident that the companies want profits even if they have to layoff Americans.

By the way, these all are the side-effects of capitalism.

So, now the only way for Americans to not get laid off is to ask the management to reduce their salary but let them keep their jobs.

I'm new here, I'm stressing and unable to sleep, so please humor me. How are people notified? I know there's an email notification, but is it then a meeting just with your manager, HR, or somebody else? Is it a whole group at once or one by one? Are people terminated immediately or do you have to stay on for a few weeks? I'm just trying to figure out what to expect.
